Narrative

When an AI summary appears below, it is generated from archive captions and profile text. It may be incomplete or mistaken; use the memorial profile and source links for verification.

Khadijeh Bahmani was a 41-year-old mother of two living in Babol, Mazandaran. A woman of deep religious faith, she was also the niece of a martyr from the Iran-Iraq war. On January 8, 2026, after breaking her fast for the day, she joined the nationwide protests in response to calls for national action. During the demonstrations, Khadijeh was killed by security forces who fired a direct shot into her forehead. Her participation in the movement was driven by her convictions, yet it resulted in a fatal confrontation with state forces in her hometown. Following her death, security forces withheld her body for several days, refusing to release her to her family. Authorities reportedly labeled her a "leader" of the protests as a justification for the delay in returning her remains for burial.

خدیجه بهمنی، مادر ۴۱ ساله دو فرزند و اهل بابل در استان مازندران بود. او زنی متدین و برادرزاده یکی از شهدای جنگ ایران و عراق بود که در جریان اعتراضات دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ جان خود را از دست داد. او در روز ۱۸ دی‌ماه، پس از افطار کردن روزه‌اش و در پاسخ به فراخوان‌های مدنی به خیابان رفت. خدیجه در جریان این اعتراضات هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت و با اصابت گلوله به پیشانی‌اش کشته شد. جان باختن او در حالی رخ داد که وی به عنوان شهروندی با پیشینه مذهبی و خانوادگی معتبر، در حمایت از اعتراضات ملی به صفوف معترضان پیوسته بود. پس از قتل وی، نهادهای امنیتی به مدت چند روز از تحویل پیکر او به خانواده‌اش خودداری کردند. ماموران امنیتی با طرح این ادعا که او یکی از «لیدرهای خیابانی» اعتراضات بوده است، پیکر او را به گروگان گرفتند تا سرانجام پس از گذشت چندین روز، اجازه خاکسپاری صادر شد.
